[ This is all a bit overwhelming for Nill. A new place- more than a new place, but a new world- a school, classes... she's excited and scared, and trying to navigate the halls and find her dorm
( Read more... )
[ he hears her before he sees her, the sound of fluttering wings coming past his ears a lot louder than any other sound that he can process at the moment. sure, it could just as easily be birds outside but it sounds much too loud for anything like that, and when Haine turns the corner to see Nill seated on the perch of a windowsill, he all but stops in his tracks. ]
[ Nill looks up from her uniform and locks eyes with Haine. For a brief moment she simply stares, studies, confirming the identity of the other before letting herself get too excited. But once she's sure that yes, that is Haine, it's as if her entire body lights up.
Nill wastes no time in pushing off the windowsill, leaving uniform and books behind, to rush to him and throw her arms around his neck.
[ his lips twitch upwards in what seems like a fleeting ghost of a smile as he lets her hug him. ]
You just arrived?
[ there's no doubt in his mind that she did, since he'd have definitely found her by this point. still, it's surprisingly nice to see her again. he had been worrying about her the moment he arrived and feeling Nill within his grasp is a comfort that's hard to come by for Haine. ]
[ She pulls back enough to face him, fingers tapping on his shoulders. Nill can hardly keep herself still. No one had mentioned there would be someone she knew here, especially not Haine.
Nill nods quickly in response to his question. If she had arrived here earlier than just now, she would have found him already! ]
[ he nods and gives her a look over, making sure she's not visibly injured in any way, shape, or form. she looks good enough though, smiling up at him with an eagerness that is so profoundly unique to Nill herself that he can't help but feel a lightness in his chest just watching. ]
...that useless Bishop. I asked him to look after you and he turns his back once and you wind up in this stupid school.
[ he sighs. a little frustrated when he thinks about all the new people that have been coming in who are from the underground. like the twins... ]
Still. Better you here where I can see you than back at home with no one but Badou around.
[ No one but Badou? She isn't quite sure what that's supposed to mean. Last she remembers, everyone had been in their proper places. She gives him a curious look, but doesn't think much of it.
She gives Haine a quick hug before scurrying back to her things. She wants to show the present Cid gave her!
Nill clumsily types out a message on the device, before proudly holding it up to Haine. ]
[ he watches her run through her belongings with a slightly amused expression. she's so excited that it's almost contagious, and when she pulls out the device to type on, he finds out exactly why. ]
Huh, will you look at that.
[ he watches her type, happy for that semblance of a moment that she's absolutely thralled with being able to communicate with others now. ]
Looks like this piece of junk isn't as useless as I thought.
[ She nods excitedly. Not useless at all! Nill imagines this must be how people feel when they get to talk every day. It's so much fun! Her eyes light up, realizing she can show off her "trick".
Nill pulls the device back to her, drumming her fingers over it. When the screen is filled with letters, she turns it back towards Haine.
[ he can't help the unnecessary twinge he feels at the thought of nill being able to converse with everyone else. while he's happy for her, he's also a bit wary. not everyone in this place has good intentions and the thought of creeps or rotten apples trying to wiggle into her life is a disturbing one that he can't put down to rest. ]
Better be careful with that. Don't want to break it.
...Nill?
